Gym RMT

Connor™

Showstopper

Ambipom @ Choice Band
Jolly
4Hp/252Atk/252Spd
~Brick Break
~Payback (originally shadow claw)
~Double Hit
~U-Turn

simple CBtechnipom lead. Brick Break and Payback provide amazing neutral coverage, while Double Hit gets not only stab, but technician factored in as well, meaning amazing damage. U-Turn to escape while doing decent damage.

Lucario @ Life Orb
Jolly
4Hp/252Atk/252Spd
~Close Combat
~Extreme Speed

Boring old SDluke. Boring, but gets the job done.

Porygon-z @ Choice Scarf
Modest
4Hp/252Satk/252Spd
~Tri Attack
~Dark pulse
~Thunderbolt
~Ice Beam

Forget porygon2, choice scarf adaptability-z is amazing. Fires off stab and adaptability boosted tri attacks from a Satk stat of 405. Nothing is going to like that much (bar blissey :p )

machamp.png

Machamp @ Leftovers
Adamant
252Hp/252Atk/4Def
~Dynamic Punch
~Ice Punch
~Rest
~Sleep talk

Provides the team with a status absorber, can also tank and slightly wall on the physical side.

Rotom @ Light Clay
Timid
252Hp/252Spd/4Satk
~Light Screen
~Reflect
~Will-O-Wisp
~Thunderbolt

Provides my team with a way to burn and severly cripple physical attackers and also gives my team dual screem support.

snorlax.png

Snorlax @ Leftovers
Careful
168Hp/120Def/220Sdef
~Earthquake
~Body Slam
~Fire punch
~Curse

This guy is the ultimate heatran counter with Earthquake. Come in late game, set up a few curses and watch the opponents team get ripped apart.

OK theres my team. Rate away BUT remember i am limited to these 3 types !!
Fighting
Electric
Normal

Payback and BB give Unresisted coverage, plus Payback benifits from Technician

Nasty Plot on the switch to be a true threat. You have enough coverage w/ BoltBeam.

This guy is the ultimate heatran counter with Earthquake. Also provides my team with a special wall and 2nd status absorber.
Your better off using Curselax than STLax

I'd say, If one of them doesn't work, then this may work:

Infernape@Focus Sash
Jolly Nature
252Spe/252Atk/4Def
Moves:
Fake Out
Taunt
Brick Break
Punishment

Super Anti-Lead'Nape with type coverage. FO for free damage, Taunt to prevent set-ups, BB for Screen-screwing and STAB, along with Punishment for stat-uppers and Unresisted coverage.

i get what you're saying about my porygon-z, but i find that if i get a NP in, i normally die due to lack of speed before i get to hit anything. this is why i tried out scarf-z and it worked twice as good as NP-z.
i'll change shadow claw to payback now :p
on lax i'm not sure on curselax, but i'll run it through on smogon with this moveset first before i change it :
crunch
body slam
earthquake
curse
and see what happens from there.
it keeps countering heatran and isn't completely walled by ghosts, as before.
 

cloudk

hates you.
I used to use curselax mid-late game with return/fire punch/rest/curse

Once you have killed off potential counters, rest is fine with sleep talk since you'll be taking hits like a champ with all those curse boosts. Return is chosen over body slam because the extra power was necessary against stuff like heatran since lax was usually my last survivor and i have no one to kill tran with. Fire punch is to kill walls/ghosts expecting you have EQ.

shoddy wise return is fine.
but when its for a wifi team all that time the pokemon spends in my box slowly decreases returns power, making body slam the more viable option.
however i may try your idea out as it seems ok, just with body slam instead of return.

*BUMP*
come on people RMT i really need to improve it.
*EDIT TO THE TEAM* : i'm going to use cloudk's curselax over sleeptalk lax.
 

Razor Shiftry

Cynthia = Porn Star
have you tried a Sub-salac Pory-Z? allows you to Nasty plot and get some speed in and Tri-attack and HP water provide great neutral coverage

and personally i would go for Return/Fire punch/rest/curse for snorlax. Heatran won't be bothering you after a couple of curses. and you need rest for some survivability after you've cursed up a bit :)
